so now we’re generalizing about the jews and the japanese. off-topic and not necessary or factual.

i wonder when and where he saw that old ramayan miniseries. it seems like he’s clearly influenced by it.

it reminds me, in a way, of the beastie boys' sabotage video - an original and strange costumed narrative filmed to a catchy as hell song with little bearing on the lyrics.

I think this is the best video for Sabotage...

"And um...Japanese...uh huh yes they are totally the most tolerant people on Earth who show the utmost respect for other cultures, especially Indian.

Being themselves among the most mono-culture/race on earth in their own country, and who apprently prefer to stay that way. So when they go visiting, everybody's an interesting adventure.

I was standing in line in an airport in Bombay and one old lady of 90 (I knew who she was) almost knocked a couple of us over sideways to get herself through. I’ve never experienced a more assertive elbow job. She did have her hair dyed black, but she was 90.

Here is another Desi influenced Spanish video. I'm digging the music, but I didn't really know what to think of the random Indian dancing girl.

I have seen the Israeli tourist spots in India, and if you have read any of the stories in Outlook, Frontline or India Today over the years - they talk about the tourist spots being that way because the "brokers" actually find the Israelis better behaved and less trouble than large Indian parties

Even though this statement is one of the I-know-people-who type statistic: (very dear) Israeli friends of mine who spent time in India after their military service or know other people who did, regretfully confess that their peeps are among the worst sort of foreign tourists in India -- contemptuous of locals, rowdy, and especially rude to store owners from whom they want to procure goods at an unreasonable discount.

Vishnu has had 9 comings by the way.

I remain unimpressed. He is way lower than Zeus on that count. Prema/Vyasa/Kaka, I think you have a splendid opportunity to comment on sub-par physical stamina and rampant sexual repression among Indians and their deities.

just to let you know, in goa, some israelis have taken over whole beaches and if anyone indian, nri or local, rich or poor, comes near those beaches they are greeted by snarls and shooed away. i’m not bashing people from israel. i have lived in a jewish neighbourhood in london for most of my life and all the israelis here have been very nice to me and i’m very comfortable with them. unfortunately a (large) percentage of the ones in india are not so great and it’s probably a drug related thing.
